Question: are you Kessel's cousin?


- domi_legend

Are you Domi's mushed brain?

Edit: another question, when you post a laughy emoticon do you hear a voice laughing in your head?

Nooooope!

You said Leo was a better player straight up..

Actually i think you used the term "wayyyyyyyy better"

You must be right, you have so much credibility! 6 countries, at least...right? Oh, but the map looks like its from 1984...

Edit: I use the laughing emoticon...cause you're funny

Its the komarov wives.

Dont get me wrong i love uncle Leo...

Yeah, you guys are really arguing about team building over time under a salary cap. That's one thing. Clearly Kessel is more skilled and accomplished as a player.

*sigh*

Once more, it's a salary cap league. 3 mil vs 8 mil. $75,000 per point compared to $135,000. Gritty, heart, courage, physical, a leader vs none of those.

Your entire premise is based off of two off-years. He'll pot 30g/40a next year and make you look ridiculous.

Komarov will never get a sniff of 30 goals; he'll be a 15g/20a guy if he's lucky.

All hypothetical. All speculation. He's had 2 terrible seasons in a row. And if he's not scoring, he's terrible.

I wonder how much lean muscle mass he can add over a summer, could make it impossible to send him back to junior next fall.
- Zezel


Depends on if he's still growing or not. I would expect him back in Jr. next year though, lead Canada at the Worlds, but probably get a few games out of camp.

Yup, and I can't see why anyone would want Kessel at 8mil compared to Komo for 3mil. Why do you think we traded him for the return we got? He's not a winning player. Komarov is.

And Kessel is a +6 this year on PIT team that was on the outside looking in for a lot of season.

I don't know, you could kind of write off last season for all those Leafs, and then this year both Kessel and Crosby and all the Pens were struggling. Then they all heated up after the coaching change. I wouldn't be surprised if Kessel got 70-80 points next year, it wouldn't shock me.

Nobody wants Kessel on our team, including the Leafs, which is why they traded him. Nobody misses him here.

C'man. You sound Hysterical.

Watch out for the islanders. Capitals islanders conference final. Capitals roll over them though

Kessel plays with crosby and malkin. Who did Komarov play with?

It all depends. I would want Kessel as an added piece to a top contender, which is exactly what Pittsburgh thought. The Leafs needed to hit the reset button. It's all context, I can't say who's a winner or not. In fact I'd bet money on Kessel winning a Cup over Komagod. Kessel could win one this spring, Pitt's been destroying teams going into the playoffs.

But yeah, for the Leafs it made sense to ship Kessel, and I love Komagod of course, I would die for him.

Exactly. Because if he's not scoring, he's worthless. That's why we even agreed to retain salary. Thanks for proving my point.
